1. Bush is an English alternative rock band formed in 1992. The group chose the name "Bush" because they used to live in Shepherd's Bush, London.
Their first album, Sixteen Stone (1994), was a huge commercial success. Almost overnight, Bush went from playing small pubs in London to headlining arenas in the US, the result of extensive promotion on MTV and non-stop touring. Critics labeled them as an inferior derivative of bands such as Nirvana and Pixies, and this criticism followed them throughout their career as a band. In particular, Rossdale's throaty singing voice and random, stream of consciousness-style lyrics were dismissed by some as an imitation of Nirvana's lead singer, Kurt Cobain. Although the band reached superstar status in the U.S., they failed to have much impact on the Britpop riddled UK charts, the lone exception being their single Swallowed, which reached #7. A change in record labels, management and an extended hiatus did not bode well for the band, who unofficially split in 2002.
Frustrated by the disappointing sales of Golden State (their fifth album, in 2001) and lack of support the band was receiving from Atlantic, the band decided to go on a hiatus. Band members went to work on various other musical projects notably Gavin Rossdale, and his new band Institute.
On June 21, 2010 it was announced that Bush were reuniting. There will be a new album called "The Sea of Memories" (previously named as "Everything Always Now"). Two original members, Rossdale and Goodridge, are joined by Chris Traynor and Corey Britz. The release will be their first indie release since Sixteen Stone, released on Rossdale's own Zuma Rock Records.
Bush's albums include Razorblade Suitcase (produced by Steve Albini), Deconstructed, The Science of Things, and Golden State.
In 2005, Bush released The Best of '94 - '99, a greatest hits compilation, and Zen X Four, a CD and DVD which features the band's music videos. Zen X Four was released on Kirtland Records and has its own website.
Bush will release their fifth studio album, The Sea Of Memories, on September 13, 2011. It is the band's first studio set in ten years, the first Bush album released on E1 Records and their first venture away from Interscope, who handled all of their previous releases. (Sound Of Winter Songfacts).
Bush's members have included Gavin Rossdale, Dave Parsons, Robin Goodridge, Sacha Putnam, Nigel Pulsford, and Chris Traynor who played lead guitar during the Golden State tour.
The track The People That We Love was featured in the game Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.
In Canada, Rossdale's band was once known as Bush^X, because the 1970s band Bush, led by Domenic Troiano, owned the Canadian rights to the name. In April 1997, it was announced that Troiano had agreed to let them use the name Bush in Canada without the exponent X, in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.
2. Bush was a 70s Canadian Rock band signed to RCA in Canada and Dunhill Records in the USA. The members were previously in Mandala and toured with Three Dog Night and Steppenwolf. The Canadian Bush forced the British Bush were forced to release their albums in Canada as Bush X.
Bush was a Canadian rock band in the early 1970s, which evolved from the respected club act Mandala.
Mandala had a minor Canadian hit with the song "Love-Itis". Bush consisted of ex-Mandala bandmates Domenic Troiano, Roy Kenner, Hugh Sullivan and Pentti Glan, plus Prakash John. The group released a single eponymous album in 1970. The band recorded on the RCA label in Canada and Dunhill in the US, and toured with label mates Steppenwolf and Three Dog Night. Three Dog Night released one of their songs, "I Can Hear You Calling" as the B-side of their successful single "Joy to the World". The song, co-written by Troiano, Kenner, Glan and Sullivan, also appeared on Three Dog Night's Naturally album. Bush was short-lived as a band, but had some influence among musicians for their jazz-influenced rock.
Bush became newsworthy again in 1995, as the result of an intellectual property dispute with the British alternative band Bush. As Troiano still owned the rights to that name, the British band were forced to release their albums in Canada as "Bushx". In late April 1997, Troiano and Gavin Rossdale reached an agreement under which Rossdale's band was permitted to use the name Bush without the letter X, in exchange for donating $20,000 each to the Starlight Foundation and the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund.
All of the band members continued in music after the breakup of Bush. Kenner and Troiano joined The James Gang, following the departure of Joe Walsh. They performed together on the albums Passin' Thru and Straight Shooter, after which Troiano left to join The Guess Who. Kenner stayed with The James Gang, then with lead guitarist Tommy Bolin, for two further albums, Bang and Miami. John and Glan became session musicians, who also toured with Alice Cooper and Lou Reed. Troiano later developed a successful solo career, which also included Kenner at various times. John later fronted a Toronto-based rhythm and blues band, The Lincolns, which continues to play today. In 2005, Domenic Troiano died at the age of 59, from prostate cancer.
Pentti Glan a.k.a. Whitey Glan (July 8, 1946 ā November 7, 2017)
3. Intars Albužis, better known by his stage name Bush (formerly bÅ«-Å”), is a Latvian rapper from RÄ«ga, Latvia. He is a member of the hip-hop group Runu ZÄle.

The Only Way Out
Bush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the tripwires in your head
Through the seven layers
Of your holy bed
Where there is no warm guard
By the cities of systems
I wanna be your savior
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
Follow me down to the freeway
Where the beat goes on
And a heatwave lost the night
Say what you will but we pray
To the gods of our own demise
All the time
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
Lets build a bonfire tonight
We'll stay warm in the night time
Warm in the night time
Follow me down to the water
Through the tripwires in your head
Through the seven layers
Of your holy bed
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out
The only way out
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The opening line, "Follow me down to the water," serves as an invitation, a call to follow the singer into murky territory. As they journey through this territory, through the "tripwires in your head" and the "seven layers/ Of your holy bed," the singer expresses the desire to be a guide, a savior to the person they are addressing.
The chorus, with its repeated statement that "The only way out is through," suggests that the only way to overcome whatever troubles them is to confront it head-on, to slog through the thicket of negativity and reach the other side. The following line, "Lost my mind over you," implies that the person they are addressing holds a certain power over the singer, and that this power has driven them to the brink of insanity.
The second verse expands on this theme, taking us "down to the freeway" where "the beat goes on" and "a heatwave lost the night." It's a vivid image of urban decay, but the singer refuses to give in to despair. They acknowledge that "we pray/ To the gods of our own demise/ All the time," but once again urge their companion to follow them into the wild, to build a bonfire and "stay warm in the night time." Throughout the song, the message is clear: the only way out of darkness and into the light is to press forward, to face one's fears and not retreat.

Follow me down to the water
Come with me to face your emotions and inner conflicts
Through the tripwires in your head
Despite the obstacles and doubts you may have in your mind
Through the seven layers
Through all the deep and complex emotions and thoughts that you struggle with
Of your holy bed
Your personal, sacred emotional space
Where there is no warm guard
Where you can't hide behind emotional walls and defenses
By the cities of systems
By the society and its rules and norms
I wanna be your savior
I want to help you face your fears and find a way out
I wanna be your seasons
I want to be there for you throughout all the changes you experience
The only way out is through
The only way to overcome your inner conflicts and emotional struggles is to face them head-on
Lost my mind over you
I'm consumed by trying to help you and resolve our issues
Follow me down to the freeway
Let's take action and move forward together in our journey
Where the beat goes on
Where life continues despite our personal struggles
And a heatwave lost the night
Despite the heat and intensity of our emotions and conflicts, we won't let it control us
Say what you will but we pray
Despite what others may say or think, we'll do what we believe is best
To the gods of our own demise
We may be heading towards destruction, but we'll make our own choices and face our own consequences
All the time
It's a constant struggle and process
Lets build a bonfire tonight
Let's take comfort and warmth in our shared experience and emotions
We'll stay warm in the night time
We'll support each other through the dark and difficult times
The only way out
There's no other escape, no shortcuts or easy ways out
The only way out is through
We must face our struggles together and work towards a resolution
Lost my mind over you
I'm committed to helping you, even if it means losing my own sanity

Follow me down to the water
Through the trip wires in your head
Through the seven layers
Of your holy bed
Where there is no one God
But a series of systems
I wanna be your savior
I wanna be your seasons
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
Follow me down to the freeway
Where the beat goes on
And a heatwave blast the night
Say what you will but we pray
To the God's of our own demise
All the time
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
Let's build a bonfire tonight
We'll stay warm in the night time
Warm in the night time
Follow me down to the water
Through the trip wires in your head
Through the seven layers
Of your holy bed
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out
The only way out
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you

hope you're doing well š
@randallabracadabra
It's a decent song, maybe it's just the studio production of it that doesn't sound very good. It lacks dimension to me, like something Cold Play would make with Gavin at the helm, but very sterile sounding like they're marketing this to a specific audience that lacks depth in their taste.
@Vaheed1271
Wow!! Good job guys! Not a lot of bands can consistently put out great albums.
@igrinningreaper5791
I really wish bush had a larger following, they really are a band worthy of respect! Such an amazing song!

Love the depth in his lyrics. Few songwriters impress me like Gavin Rossdale in that respect. Keep up the good work!
